There are a number of factors considered when you are hurt in a car accident. Determining what your case is worth takes some investigation. How long you have been out of work, the amount of your medical bills, and the extent of your injuries will all play a role in what your case is worth if you take it to court.

If you are considering settling, you should know that once you settle, you can’t bring your case to court if new injuries arise. You should be sure that you are at a medical end to treatment, and that you are able return to work in a full capacity before you settle your case. If you are permanently disabled, you will have to take into consideration your future lost wages, a number that many insurance companies aren’t going to settle for.
